Falgun Sheth is the co-founder of Shaishav Trust (1993)[1], an Indian non-profit working on women & children, education and human rights from Bhavnagar.
Shaishav Trust
Shaishav, meaning childhood, was founded in Bhavnagar in 1993 to empower children from marginalised communities. After its 1995 survey found over 12,800 children working in 106 occupations in Bhavnagar city, it built Balsena, a children's collective through which children learn about their rights, resist child labour and child marriage, and lead change in their slums and villages.
Shaishav Trust reports the following, on its own site:
- First Children's Convention hosted by Shaishav and Balsena with 2200 children from across Gujarat.
